Breville Ultraglide 2200w steam iron
The auto shut off has occurred on two occasions, after which the iron would not get hot or even warm. I am not sure if these are linked or whether there is a different problem.

I have the same problem as discussed above. My Hoover Pet Cyclonic upright stops working while using it. The bottom feels hot when this happens. When it first occurred, I emptied the canister and even tried a different plug. It did not turn back on for over an hour. When it did turn back on, it would die again after about 3-5 minutes of use. I don't know what else to try. I have washed the secondary filters, let them air dry and replaced them and this did not help the problem.
My friend,

Dyson DC 14 hose has no suction, with or without brush attachments. Hot air shoots out from the base of the canister when I try to use the hose. I cleaned the top filter, but can't figure out how to remove the hepa filter to clean it without destroying the case. It looks like it might take three hands to insert pennies and "flip" the case open as is suggested on a youtube video for a different model. Would this even help, assuming I could get the thing open?

I purchased a used Minuteman 2400 series buffer/burnisher over the weekend from a store that is closing. The unit is about 7-8 years old. I did not get a manual with this item, can you help me out with this. I would like to read up on it so if I have problems I can look back on it. Even as far as the operation of it would help to have a book for it. Linda

I have this manual available via email. chris321 at gmail. ...

My first proheat lasted four years so I bought a new one. After I used my Pro Heat for only the fourth time my first issue occured, the gear on the pump that runs the brushes came off, so I had the one from my old proheat, I just changed the gear spindle that is screwed to the pump and fixed that problem but now it will not pump water. That is why I bought a new proheat, I could not get the old one to pump even after a new pump and made sure all lines were not cloged.

It starting to put out a hot type smell. I have tried cleaning the filters real well and even tried to see if there was problem with the ozone filter. We have checked and could not find a jam. I know the hose has excellent suction. The vacumn works but the intelliclean sensors will not. It only takes about 15 seconds or so for the odor to start. Then it gets real strong and it makes my eyes water

Hi. We've got a Dyson DC17 "Animal".
It's clogged, and we are unable to separate the purple cyclone cap from the main cyclone body to get to the problem.
We've heard of 4 torx screws that take some interesting tactics to access.
I've been through this thing with a flashlight, and torx tools for a protracted period, and even after removing the torx screws was unable to ultimately separate the two pieces (main body from purple cap assembly).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx -

Electrolux power nozzle, model 1692, power cuts on and off. I don't have the manual for it, but I'm trying to remove and clean the brush compartment. I removed the top, but not sure how to get to the brush. I would like to find a manual for it, because it's completely different than the one I use to have.

I have had my RCA microwave model # RMW1108 for about 8 months now. It was working fine until yesturday evening. I went to warm up some food for 2 minutes, the microwave itself was on and everything appeared to be working except my food did not get warmed up. I plugged it out and checked all over it for any damage but i could not find anything wrong. What would cause it to just stop heating up the food? Is this type of problem covered in the 1 year manufacturer's warranty.

I recently put a call into dyson regarding a problem with my vaccuum and a supervisor was supposed to get back to me. no one has. back in august, we were on the phone with a technician regarding a problem with out machine. after trying a list of things, she said to take it to american vaccuum services and it would be covered by dyson. when i did, the man told me it was clogged and i would owe $45. i would not have taken it for that price! please advise as now i am stuck. i want my vaccuum and th

Have DC07 that won't come on. Wife said this started happening a few weeks ago. Would come on and then other times would not come on. Now will not come on at all. Believe I have a lose wire. Have taken off star screw by on off switch, but cannot find how to get plastic parts apart to get into electrical connections. How do I do this? I am sure I am missing something simple?

Miele Cat & Dog vacuum gets VERY hot and is VERY loud. Hose has no restrictions and I have changed the dust compartment (motor) filter and the exhaust filter. It still gets hot when I run it with the top open and all filters removed, so I'm guessing the problem is with the motor. Should I be going into the motor compartment? If so, what am I looking for?

Hi\015\012\015\012The fact that it gets very hot could be due to a number of issues.,but the fact that it started making a very loud noise at the same time suggests that there might be more problems maybe brushes etc.\015\012\ ...

Hello!
I have a problem with my Tefal Sensio scales. They are now probably around four years' old and have been in perfect working order up to now. Well, I had some problems before - the moment I'd step on them, instead of going into "calculating mode" as they usually do, they would show the number 92 straight away and then the display would change into some strange symbols (please don't laugh here :-) - my weight in kg is 55, my husband's around 80 and each of us gets 92 reading).

Hi,
I have a Xenon 600 VA sinewave inverter. My inverter starts working even when the main power is ON.So the battery gets dried up even when power is there.Can I know why this is happening?
Is this due to main power line problem or a inverter problem.

Altrev,
I have an ODC325 Black&Decker spacemaker coffeemaker on my boat and it stopped working this weekend although the hot plate still gets hot. I suspect it is the thermal switch as you described (I hear a click when I switch the machine on but nothing happens and the heating element does not kick in). I would be very happy to receive one or two of these 14 spare switches you mention so I can repair the unit. If still available I would appreciate hearing from you how we can do the transact

We don't sell parts individually on the site here.... was it some other solution for another person you saw about the switch? I don't believe there really is a part called a thermal switch... there is a thermal fuse but if the hotplate gets hot I wo ...

Dyson animal won't start. Never had any problem with this vacuum. No apparent problem. No electrical problem with house or outlet.
If there are some common things I could check/fix, things that might go wrong, I would like to check them out and get this machine going again.

Hi there, if the machine was running and cut out in use, this could be due to the motor overheating. The cause of this would be a blockage or a dirty filter. These checks can be found in the Support section on our website at www.dyson.com. ...
Dyson DC07 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum

The problem has been getting worse. It works, then cuts off. Then works and cuts off. Making sure the canister is not full. Time b/w it working is getting longer and longer. Almost seems this time when I change the outlet it is plugged into it works. But then shuts off quicker than it was doing before. I'm getting very frustrated.

We had exactly the same problem with our Animal. After the motor was replaced under warranty a different engineer came out and diagnosed it as the cyclone chamber itself being clogged.(the bit with the purple cylinders on it). This is completely unse ...

Bissell 3522 PowerForce Bagged Upright Vacuum

Hmmm Hi there, I actually had tried everything you mentioned except for the vinegar idea which I'll do when I get back up to my home in Oregon. I checked for pinches, the heater, etc. Water does NOT come out of the accessory tool and only will dispense out of the main area for a second or two..any liquid actually starts filling up the area right behind the nozzles and around the pump instead of OUT of the machine. I checked gaskets, made sure there was a tight seal, and even made sure the little

Belts breaking/melting The original belt broke at almost 1 year so I replaced it. I changed the carpet setting to shag even though my carpet is very low pile to make it easier on the vacuum. I didn't get to use it but just a couple minutes and could already start smelling the new belt getting hot. I checked the roller and it is easy to spin. Not clogged with hair or dirt. Now the inside of the new belt has small pieces of rolled rubber instead of being smooth. The metal shaft that goes into the

My electrolux ambassador power wand quit working. I replaced the switch that shuts it off when the roller stops, but it wasn't the problem. The on/off switch is fine, the motor is fine. We have traced the problem to the wires inside the canister by opening the inside cover to the bag container. We see the power cords going into the canister but we're not able to get to anything. We can't find any screws to undo that would open it up in order to follow the wires deep into the canister. We've bypa
